Introducing Gowanus, the Condo
Does the rendering above signal that Gowanus has suddenly become marketable? The building in question is the under-construction 255 1st Street (see photo on jump), which was designed by Steven Kratchman Architect, the firm that had a hand in designing Chelsea Piers.

Does the rendering above signal that Gowanus has suddenly become marketable? The building in question is the under-construction 255 1st Street (see photo on jump), which was designed by Steven Kratchman Architect, the firm that had a hand in designing Chelsea Piers. It’s entirely possible that the building’s name has changed since the rendering was produced, but we’re fascinated by the fact that the developers would name a condo between 4th and 5th avenues (in Park Slope!) after the canal/industrial neighborhood. The condo will have three one-bedrooms, 16 two-bedrooms and 13 three-bedrooms, and it’s supposed to hit the market soon. GMAP DOB P*Shark

Some people might say the same thing about Brooklyn as a whole.
Different strokes for different folks.
Where do you live? I might not be proud to call that my home.
Without Park Slope and Carroll Gardens – just imagine how much better everything would be
“Who will ever want to say: Oh, I live in the Gowanus!”
They can always say, “I live behind the McDonalds.”
Yeah, that’s why they are calling it the Gowanus and not “the slope”
You park slopers are so snarky. you would never believe some people don’t want to live amongst obnoxious people obsessed with crown moldings and fireplaces.
I remember the talk about making Fourth Avenue the Park Avenue of Brooklyn. That rezoning was such a joke – this building is only 11 stories tall!
Without Park Slope and Carroll Gardens, there is no Gowanus.
I think 1:14 that they are trying to ride the coat tails of the Park Slope real estate market, actually.
Without Park Slope, there is no Gowanus.
Every story has another side…
Looks like Gowanus is trying to distance itself from the obnoxious residents of “Park Slope Proper”
Good call!!
Gowanus is going to be what the meatpacking district never was.
Edgy and hip for more than 5 minutes.
